Crioula Hotel **** All Inclusive Mealplan SANTA MARIA

A central open area houses the reception open-air bar, shops, and various facilities.  Other facilities include a large airy roof top theatre, games room, baby club, tennis court, beach volleyball court, soft soccer, swimming pool, solarium, gymnasium, and a wonderful ocean view terrace. Bicycles and quad bikes can be hired.

The Main Restaurant has a sea view and offers Italian and international gastronomic specialities, also local dishes all served as a buffet. Directly on the beach is the Grill Room, "Executive", with a la carte menu, which offers a selection of local wines and lobster.

Accommodation is in either in "Bungalows" in the gardens or Standard Rooms in the two storey wings off the central open area. Bungalows consist of a large bedroom, satellite TV, mini-bar, safe, hair dryer, direct dial telephone, air-conditioning and full bathroom with doors out onto a small patio area in some cases overlooking the sea.  Standard rooms are similar to the bungalows in style and facilities and each has a small balcony.

Our Opinion
Very pleasant rooms and good public facilities.  We like the Grill room idea and access to the beach is very easy. 

However more four and a half than five star! An Italian Tour Operator, VentaClub, fills large parts of the Hotel.
